Both Sides Now     by      Joni Mitchell


INTRO:       

           
Bows and flows

            
 of angel hair

              
, and ice-crea

           
m castles in t

   
he air
             
And feather ca

            
nyons everywhe

              
re, I've looke

              
d at clouds th

   
at way
            
But now they o

            
nly block the 

             
sun, they rain

           
 and snow on e

    
veryone
             
So many things

            
 I would have 

             
done, but clou

             
ds got in my w

ay


CHORUS:
             
   I've looked

            
 at clouds fro

            
m both sides n

ow
             
   From up and

            
 down, and sti

                          
ll somehow
            
   It's clouds

           
' illusions I 

recall
             
   I really do

           
n't know cloud

                 
s  at all


           
Moons and June

            
s and Ferris w

              
heels, the diz

           
zy, dancing wa

      
y you feel
             
As every fairy

            
 tale comes re

             
al, I've looke

              
d at love that

 
 way
            
But now it's j

           
ust another sh

              
ow, you leave 

            
them laughing 

        
when you go
             
And if you car

            
e, don't let t

              
hem know, don'

             
t give yoursel

   
f away


CHORUS:
             
   I've looked

            
 at love from 

          
both sides now
             
   From give a

            
nd take, and s

         
till somehow
            
   It's love's

          
 illusions I r

ecall
             
   I really do

           
n't know love 

                
  at all


           
Tears and fear

             
s and feeling 

             
proud, to say,

            
 "I love you" 

         
right out loud
             
Dreams and sch

            
emes and circu

              
s crowds, I've

             
 looked at lif

       
e that way
           
But now old fr

             
iends are acti

             
ng strange, th

              
ey shake their

           
 heads, they s

        
ay I've change

d
              
But something'

           
s lost and som

              
ething's gaine

             
d, in living e

     
very day


CHORUS:
             
   I've looked

            
 at life from 

          
both sides now
             
   From win an
